Persepsi Masyarakat terhadap Alun-alun Kota Bandung sebagai Ruang Terbuka Publik
Bandung merupakan sebuah kota yang strategis yang memiliki nilai sejarah yang cukup panjang dalam masa perjuangan. Alun alun Bandung merupakan hasil warisan ciri kota tradisional yang dibangun oleh penguasa kolonial yang merupakan pusat ruang terbuka kota. Dari masa kemasa Alun-alun kota Bandung telah mengalami beberapa kali Perubahan, baik bentuk maupun fungsinya sehingga mengakibatkan degradasi makna terhadap fungsinya bagi masyarakat Kota Bandung itu sendiri. Maka fenomena tersebut mengarahkan kepada pertanyaan penelitian yaitu bagaimana persepsi masyarakat terhadap Alun-alun Kota Bandung ditinjau sebagai ruang terbuka publik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui persepsi masyarakat terhadap Alun-alun Kota Bandung. Dari tujuan tersebut maka sasaran yang dilakukan adalah mengidentifikasi karakter dan fungsi ruang terbuka publik yaitu fungsi ekologis, arsitektural, dan sosial. Dari hasil analisis dengan menggunakan kuesioner yaitu uji sampel dengan regresi linear sederhana dengan pendekatan analisis pengguna dan analisis karakteristik ruang terbuka publik. Hasil penelitian ini menghasilkan penilaian baik terhadap korelasi variabel bebas yaitu persepsi masyarakat terhadap variabel terikat yaitu Alun-alun Kota Bandung, setiap kali pertanyaan yang berkenaan dengan Persepsi masyarakat terhadap Alun-alun Kota Bandung akan mempengaruhi nilai hasil pengujian yang cenderung meningkat akan keberadaan Alun-alun itu sendiri. Hasil penelitian ini bisa dimanfaatkan untuk mengangkat kembali citra Alun-alun Kota Bandung sebagai ruang publik atau (Central Square).[Public Perception of The Alun-alun Bandung as Public Open Space] Bandung is a city that has a value that strategic long history in the struggle. Alun Bandung square is the result of inherited traits of traditional town built by the colonial rulers which is the center of the city open space. Over time, Bandung town square has undergone several changes, both form and function, resulting in degradation of the meaning of the function for the city of London itself. The phenomenon then leads to the research question is how the public perception of the square is the city of Bandung reviewed as public open space for the present study tries to analyze the function of the existence of Bandung City Square as a public space. The purpose of this study was to determine the public perception of the square is the city of Bandung. From these objectives, the target does is identify the character and function of public open space that is the function of ecological, architectural and social. From the analysis by using a questionnaire that test samples with a simple linear regression analysis approach and analysis of the characteristics of users of public open space. The results of this study resulted in better assessment of the correlation of the independent variable is the public perception of the dependent variable is the town square of Bandung, every time queries regarding the public\u27s perception of the town square Bandung will affect the value of the test results are likely to increase in the existence Square itself. the results of this study can be used to lift the image of Bandung city square as a public space or (Central Square)

Modeling Pressure Stability and Contact-Angle Hysteresis of Superlyophobic Surfaces Based on Local Contact Line
Superlyophobic surfaces (SLS) are
a promising versatile platform
for planar microfluidics due to their excellent nonwetting and low
flow-resistance performances for almost any liquid; however, for micro
fabrication and practical application, the nonwetting performances,
especially pressure stability and contact-angle hysteresis (CAH),
are vital parameters yet still difficult to predict well. On the basis
of the Laplace pressure formulation and the pinning condition on typical
overhang surface structures, we obtained a universal expression to
calculate the critical transition pressure and hence proposed two
dimensionless parameters as criteria for the Cassie–Baxter
state. We also propose a new model for the CAH of both water and oil
on SLS by introducing contact line fraction. The theoretical predications
are well supported by the experimental data on the SLS with microfabricated
T-shape microstructures. These achievements on modeling SLS pressure
stability and CAH may shed new light for designing SLS with better
performances for microfluidics and other fields
Anomalous Growth and Coalescence Dynamics of Hybrid Perovskite Nanoparticles Observed by Liquid-Cell Transmission Electron Microscopy
We
report on <i>in situ</i> observations of nucleation,
growth, and aggregation of hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites
by liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy. Direct crystallization
of hybrid CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>PbI<sub>3</sub> nanoparticles
is achieved through an electron beam-assisted solvent evaporation
approach. Time-lapse liquid-cell TEM imaging of the nanoparticles
reveals a growth trend which is not entirely consistent with the classical
Lifshitz–Slyozov–Wagner growth model. Significantly
complex dynamical behaviors are observed during the coalescence process
of CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>PbI<sub>3</sub> nanoparticles. We propose
that the chemical instability inherent in the hybrid perovskite iodides
should be considered to understand this phenomenon in addition to
the oriented attachment mechanism. This study provides a useful reference
for understanding the intriguing chemical and physical properties
of hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites
Phase Separation Prior to Alloying Observed in Vacuum Heating of Hybrid Au/Cu<sub>2</sub>O Core–Shell Nanoparticles
The
coexistence of decomposition, phase segregation, and alloying
behaviors of Au@Cu<sub>2</sub>O core–shell nanoparticles were
found through in situ heating transmission electron microscopy imaging
and spectral-analysis techniques. Thermally induced compositional
variations (from Cu<sub>2</sub>O to Cu) were observed to be present
in the nanoparticle shells, which was followed by a spontaneous occurrence
of Au–Cu alloying. The higher-Cu loading (1:10 Au/Cu) sample
displays a clear Cu/Cu<sub>2</sub>O phase segregation driven by the
internal stresses resulting from lattice mismatch. Cu extrusions also
occur in this sample after storage in ethanol for 10 days. These in
situ observations/findings may help enhance a fundamental understanding
of remarkable experimental aspects arising in catalytic processes
and other applications as well as provide a valuable reference for
testing/refining potential models of hybrid nanoparticles in theoretical
calculations

Enhancing Stability of Tannic Acid-Fe<sup>III</sup> Nanofiltration Membrane for Water Treatment: Intercoordination by Metal–Organic Framework
Tannic
acid (TA)-FeIII nanofiltration (NF)
membrane
has been demonstrated to possess more favorable removal of trace organic
contaminants (TrOCs) over the conventional polyamide NF membrane.
However, the drawback of acid instability severely hinders the practical
application of TA-FeIII NF membrane in the treatment of
(weak) acidic wastewater containing TrOCs (e.g., pharmaceutical wastewater,
surface water, and drinking water). Herein, we introduced the MIL-101(Cr)
nanoparticle, a kind of metal–organic framework (MOF), into
the TA-FeIII selective layer to enhance the membrane acid
stability. The acid-tolerance parameter of MIL-101(Cr)-stabilized
TA-FeIII membrane (TA-FeIII-MOF membrane, 12,000
ppm/s–1) was two orders of magnitude larger than
that of the TA-FeIII membrane (50 ppm/s–1), and the TA-FeIII-MOF membrane can withstand acid treatment
at pH = 4 for more than 30 days. Meanwhile, the TA-FeIII-MOF membrane displayed increased water permeance from 9.5 to 12.7
L/(m2·h·bar) after the MOF addition, without
compromising the selectivity. The enhanced acid stability for the
TA-FeIII-MOF membrane was ascribed to an intercoordination
mechanism, where FeIII centers (from TA-FeIII complex) coordinated with −COOH groups (from terephthalic
acid of MOF) and CrIII centers (from MOF) coordinated with
−OH groups (from TA of TA-FeIII complex), which
was verified by the density functional theory calculation. This study
highlights a new approach for the development of a TA-FeIII-based NF membrane with markedly enhanced acid stability, which is
important for its real application in wastewater treatment and water
reuse
